I'm actually not so much of a constitutionalist as I used to be, I consider the libertarian NAP to be much more useful (Although still not perfectly so as the logical conclusion is anarcho-capitalism which I don't view as realistically possible, so I tend to use a form of basic minarchism instead as an actually possible application of those principles). I honestly think the Articles of Confederation might have been better, although I'd have to parse both documents before deciding. I view the constitution as, nothing more, nothing less, than a weapon agaisnt an expansive, intrusive state. I also think the anti-Federalists were really smart guys. The Federalists, I feel, had too much faith in their Federal government.
I don't argue that we should do nothing, merely that we shouldn't do things that are bad, even if the results are good. My logic is that even if you help a lot of people with utilitarianism, you're screwing someone over
